Some parents agonize over what to name a new baby, but for Mila Kunis, it was much more clear cut than that. Ashton Kutcher explained on Ellen that at one point in the months leading up to their son Dmitri's late November birthday, Kunis casually announced their baby-to-be's name on the couple's way to date night. As he tells it, Mila turned to him and said, "So I think Donald Trump is going to become the president and I think our baby's name is Dmitri."

Kutcher was so surprised by her political prediction that he forgot about the name and they didn't even discuss it that night. "Two weeks later, I got home from work and for some reason the name just stuck in my head," he said. "I was like, 'I think Dmitri is the name of the baby.' And she was like 'I know, right!' And I was like 'Yeah, that's it.'"

When Ellen added that Trump ended up becoming president like she predicted, Kutcher agreed, "Everything Mila said is right!" And if it was at all unclear about who calls the shots at home, he added, "But she's my wife, that's just what it is. Everything she says is right!"

The couple, who have been dating since 2012, welcomed Dmitri in December. The new addition seems to be a hit with everyone in the family, including his two-year-old sister Wyatt. Kutcher explained that she thinks the baby is hers and there's no sibling jealousy. "She loves this baby," he said, and added, "maybe more than me."
